GWCS ONLINE EVENTS CALENDAR - UPDATED DAILY
Dear Parents,
As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to kindly remind you to take a moment to reacquaint yourselves with our school's attendance policy.
Attendance plays a crucial role in your child's academic success. Consistent attendance ensures that your child is actively engaged in learning and able to keep up with the curriculum. It also promotes positive social interactions and fosters a sense of community within the school.
Students should make every effort to attend class. If a student is ill or otherwise unable to attend class, the parent or guardian must alert the school with written notice before 9:00 am to alert us to the absence. Parents and guardians may contact the school in the following ways:
Use the Attendance Reporting Form on the attendance page of the GWCS website.
Email Ms. Nunez-Oliver, Mr. Mallonee, and the student’s advisor, as well as any other teachers who will be directly affected by their absence.
As per our attendance policy, it is important for parents to provide written notice for any planned absences or absences due to illness, appointments, or other reasons. This allows us to keep accurate attendance records and ensure that your child's absences are properly documented.
